Tak-Hang Chan has pioneered in the development of new organic reactions and new synthetic methodologies. His imaginative use of organosilicon compounds has led to convenient syntheses of plant growth regulators, carbohydrates, and spruce budworm pheromones and insect anti-feedants. He has introduced reagents containing fluorine, tin, sulfur, selenium, indium, and many other elements into organic chemistry and made many otherwise difficult reactions possible. Recently he has discovered how to carry out some organometallic reactions in water, instead of using anhydrous solvents. Such reactions are likely to have a strong impact in organic synthesis. His work is making a host of strained and otherwise inaccessible molecules available by synthesis, and is being discovered and utilized by a world-wide community of chemists.

Thomas Chang was the first to invent the concept for replacement of cell functions using "artificial cells" (Science 1964; Nature 1968, 1971). This concept is being widely used. His polyhemoglobin as blood substitute is in Phase III clinical trials in North America and used routinely in South Africa. He is working on novel blood substitutes for ischemia-reperfusion conditions (Nature Biotechnology 1998) and nano-dimension artificial red blood cells. His hemoperfusion is in routine use for acute poisoning worldwide. His study on enzyme therapy (Nature 1968, 1971) is being developed for phenylketonuria. His idea of "cell encapsulation" is being explored worldwide for diabetes, liver failure, genetic diseases and others (Nature Medicine 2003) - including his work for uremia (Nature Medicine 1996, 1997). It is also used for drug delivery and other applications.

Le champ des sciences sociales est de plus en plus multidisciplinaire. Hubert Charbonneau est un bon modèle de cette nouvelle génération de scientifiques. Intéressé dès son jeune âge par la géographie, il obtient une maîtrise ès arts dans cette discipline en 1958. Mais c'est surtout la géographie humaine qui l'intéresse, et plus particulièrement les phénomènes de population.
Son séjour à Paris entre 1958 et 1962 transfoma le géographe en démographe et ses intérêts pour l'histoire de la population canadienne l'orienteront vers un champ multidisciplinaire par excellence, la démographie historique, domaine dans lequel il obtient son doctorat à Paris en 1969.
On ne peut parler de démographie historique au Canada, sans se référer à Hubert Charbonneau : ce prestige est nettement suffisant pour qu'il devienne l'un des nôtres.
